Per the reports, the protesters were not present at the shooting. They are clueless of the circumstances surrounding the shooting. I am only wondering what the reaction of this crowd would be had the officer been black and the dead man been white. I question if the protesters are just a group of millitant racists.
Riddle me this, black man: Nobody absent knows the truth. If and when it turns out the cop was right, how much MORE guilty, dishonest, and dangerous are you making your entire race appear to the entire nation, by sending a message to every cop in the country that they have mobs to fear more than gangs? Who's going to walk away from that little get-together?
I truly hate white supremacy, but what I hate even more is when black people legitimize their disgust, and thwart any attempt I make to defend them.
By mobbing and threatening to murder cops, compounded by not even knowing the facts, you've made yourselves impossible to support. Even worse, protesting injustice by looting dollar stores speaks for itself.
